Get Your HVAC Ready

But before you reach for the thermostat, there’s some maintenance you need to do to ensure a summer free of HVAC catastrophes.

Clean It Up

After a winter running the furnace, call an HVAC professional to have your air ducts professionally cleaned out. Clear ducts means the cool air from your HVAC moves more efficiently around your house and without spreading dust, dander, mold, mildew, fungi or anything else.

You should also change your air filters at least every 30 days for most filtration systems (check your HVAC owners manual or the instructions on the filter). Dirty filters will overwork your HVAC and shorten the life of your system. It also won’t work as well, meaning you’ll be paying higher utility bills.

While you’re cleaning out, you want to check your outdoor components as well. Clear out leaves, branches and sticks from the equipment before kicking it on for the year. You may even find some small creatures have made their home inside your HVAC
